Sprinkled With Love~Mason Jar Cookies

Sprinkled With Love~Mason Jar Cookies, Lay The Table These turquoise, iced, jar cookies have been lurking in the background (actually the freezer) for a few weeks. I couldn’t quite decide what to do with them, until I thought of Valentine’s Day. Originally I was going to add candy conversation hearts to each cookie, but decided today that I liked the look of the heart sprinkles better.  I really love how they turned out and it was a simple process too:)
Sprinkled With Love~Mason Jar Cookies, Lay The Table The twine around the lids was just the thing these cookies needed to give them each a finished look. I just LOVE the mason jar cookie cutter!

This Valentine’s Day, bottle up a little love {cookie style} for each of those that you hold dear

Valentine’s Day Mason Jar Cookies

Sugar cookie dough and royal icing AmeriColor Super Black Food Color Wilton Sky Blue Icing Color Silver luster dust Jumbo heart sprinkles Twine Roll out sugar cookie dough to desired thickness (I roll out 3/8-inch thick).  Use cookie cutter to cut out cookies, and place on cookie sheets. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes, or until the edges are turning golden brown. Mix the royal icing and set some aside for the gray icing for the lids. Mix the remainder of the royal icing (aqua blue) for the jars. Using a #3 tip, outline the cookies with the blue.  Let dry for about 15 minutes.  Outline the lids in gray (a drop of the black food coloring added to the white royal icing) and let dry for about 15 minutes. Fill (flood) the jars with the blue icing, and the lids with the gray icing.  Let dry for about a half hour and then add the details to the lid (#2 tip) and the jar (#3 tip).  Let cookies dry completely. With a small paint brush, apply the silver luster dust to the lids. Fill an icing bag with the blue royal icing, fitted with a small tip (PME 1.5). Apply a small amount of royal icing to each heart sprinkle and place it on the cookie, until the jar has been filled.  Let dry completely. Tie some twine around each jar lid.

Time to sprinkle some love on family and friends!
